Some trucks came w/ NKG's stock you can upgrade to the TR55's or TR6 or TR55ix's but deff go w/ the smaller gap another member on here told me .045

I've talked to quite a few guys and actually seen it first hand. For the price you pay for the extra ground straps on those E3 plugs or the Bosch 4 is not worth it. You aren't gonna get 3 or 4 sparks...only 1 and 9 times out of 10 the spark jumps between the same strap and the electrode when the plug fires. As for plugs, I just put in a set of TR5's gapped at .050 and the truck runs alot better and my mpg improved by about 2mpg.
